Tips for creating traditional style decor

When you���re trying to create the sophisticated, comforting effect of a traditionally styled home, there are some design elements that are easy to incorporate. You just need a wide variety of furniture and accessory options to work with. The traditional style of decor is a combination of classic looks reminiscent of days gone by. However, they���ve been updated with modern touches that add an airy, friendly feeling that���s contemporary and inviting. Consider these elegant pieces of furniture for the living room, bedroom, office, and dining room. Then, incorporate home decor accessories and light fixtures to create the full effect.

Traditional living room decor

When you���ve decided to go traditional with your living room decor, think overstuffed and button-tufted for the upholstered pieces. For upholstered furniture with exposed wood, look for details like elegant scrollwork and legs that gracefully curve outward. Pair a sofa with a matching accent chair. Then, add accent tables, coffee tables, and a media center that���s finished to complement the other woodwork in your living room.

The traditional bedroom style

Take the elegance of the traditional style into the bedroom with traditionally designed beds, dresser, benches, nightstands, and bedding to complete the look. Look for beds with detailing like upholstered or ornate metal headboards. When choosing a dresser, look for classic details along with modern features, such as easy-glide drawers that open and close quietly. Consider adding a plush, padded bench at the foot of the bed or along the wall to create seating in the bedroom. Match a nightstand to your dresser or the woodwork on your bed to create a handy spot to put your phone and a bedside lamp.

Traditional furnishings in the office or den

The traditional style adds a clean, efficient effect to an office. The main furnishings to look for in the office are a desk, an office chair, and bookcases. Stick with traditional dark-finished wood for this office style or mix things up by choosing lighter finishes or even vibrant colors. Office chairs in this style feature plush upholstery for a comfortable workday. Features such as hydraulic or gas lifts and smooth-rolling casters add to the functionality of this traditional-style office seating. Bookcases add functionality to an office by taking advantage of otherwise unused wall space to store your books and a few decorations.

Classic dining room furnishings

Use classic furnishings to create a dining area where your family will love gathering and making memories. These pieces include traditional dinnerware that showcases the food you prepare, dining tables for the family to gather around, and seating options to keep everyone comfortable. Check the dimensions of your dining room when picking a table. Want everyone to hang around and chat or play board games after dinner? Look for dining chairs and stools with soft, thick padding. The style may be reminiscent of the past, but the effect you create is all your own.

Where to put accent chairs

Accent chairs are incredibly versatile because you can put them almost anywhere in the house. Consider putting an accent chair in the entryway to provide a place for changing shoes when entering or leaving the house. Extra space in the dining room? Tuck a leather accent chair in a corner for extra seating. Add an accent chair to a home office or den to create a cozy reading nook. An accent chair also makes a comfortable spot to sit and relax or read a book in a bedroom or nursery.

Traditional lighting fixtures to consider

Illuminate the dark corners of a room with the glow of a table lamp or floor lamp that complements the decor. Options for choosing lamps include color, material, and size or style. If you need a lamp to place on a side table by your sofa or on a bedside stand, consider a table lamp. Features like touch lamps and swing arms are available in this collection of traditional style lamps to make them easier to use and to help you easily direct the light where you need it. Floor lamps add drama to the decor and have features like heavy bases for stability and articulating arms that shine the light where you want it.

Home decor for the finishing touches

When you have the basic furnishings and want to change up the look, the home decor collection provides the selection to do it. Spread a throw rug on the floor to add warmth and pops of color. Display a few throw pillows on sofas or the bed to add coziness, splashes of color, and a bit of extra texture to the room. Show off your love of art with stunning wall hangings and traditional decorative accents like globes, sculptures, and vases.
